Spring Makes an Intro With Butterfly Ranunculus

It'll steal the show for the whole upcoming season. Why? Because the Ranunculus Butterfly has the ability to stand out with multiple flowers per stem. Unlike standard varieties, each stem offers between five to seven blooms, making it a cost-effective option that provides more creative potential. This feature allows designers to create fuller and more dynamic displays without the need for extra stems.

Not to mention its impressive vase life lasting up to two weeks— another reason why this flower deserves attention. The subtle wax coating on the petals not only upgrades its appearance with a gentle sheen but also extends its freshness, ensuring that not only the flower by itself but also arrangements remain appealing for longer periods.
